Question

Given that a truck can drive 25 miles with 4 gallons of gasoline, how many gallons does it need to drive 125 miles?

Answer 1

Hello!

First you have to find out how far the car goes on 1 gallon of gas

To find this you do the distance traveled divided by the amount of gas used

25/4 = 6.25

Next you do the amount of distance the car needs to travel divided by the distance the car goes on 1 gallon of gas

125/6.25 = 20

The car needs 20 gallons of gas to go 125 miles

The answer is 20 gallons

Hope this helps!
